Feed My Reader Friday: New Books to Read

I love downloading new books. Whether it is from NetGalley, an Author or Illustrator, or from Amazon, I just love getting them. It seems like I can never get enough books on my reader. I must admit that I am slightly addicted to downloading books. It’s a good thing that most of them don’t cost a fortune or else I would be broke.

Here are some of the books I have downloaded recently. You can click on any of the titles to go to Amazon.

Flora the pig was born
for adventure: “If it’s unexplored and needs to get dug up, call me. I’m
your pig,” she says. The day Flora spots a team of sled dogs is the day
she sets her heart on becoming a sled pig. Before she knows it, she’s
on board a ship to Antarctica for the most exhilarating—and
dangerous—adventure of her life. This poignant novel of a purposeful pig
is sure to become a favorite with any young readers who have ever
dreamed of exploring the great beyond.

Ivy in Bloom
captures the weariness of a young girl tired of a long winter. “I stare
out the window,” she says on the first spread of brown and gray,
“looking for birds or flowers / or even warm showers / but I don’t see
any such thing.” But then Spring comes when “March is out of breath snow
melting to flowery waters and watery flowers spring rose from its
wintry rest.” And Ivy’s “heart dances with daffodils.” As these words
also dance across each spread, Ivy’s world erupts into a riot of color.

Ivy in Bloom
introduces the poetry of Dickinson, Longfellow, Browning, Wordsworth,
Frost and others. Excerpts from their writings, as seen through Ivy’s
eyes, will open up poetry as a way for children to express their own
feelings about the changing of seasons. This book includes longer
excerpts and brief bios of each author.
